brommy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) It is fitting that Margaret Thatcher's death is soured by the biggest legacy created by her life - division. It was argued that Margaret Thatcher had a love for Britain. That Margaret Thatcher did not have the same passion for Britain's people is a shame that she took to her own grave. I hope she was a good family woman. Her political life was a disgrace. Edited April 8, 2013 by brommy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Much as I didn't like the woman, the press coverage has been more even than I expected - I was expecting a big slush - love in- saying how great she was ...whilst that has been sad - a fair bit of coverage has shown the damage she did has not been forgotten ...... No doubt the mail and express will re dress the balance tommorow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Growing up in the 80's in the U.S., Thatcher seemed like a female Ronald Reagan- good for the rich, diabolically bad for the middle and working classes. Strange too, because they both came from modest backgrounds. Another power hungry politician is dead. Another one of my tears not shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except she was good for the middle classes and many of the working class who expressed that by voting for her. The left has done it's work of historical revisionism exceptionally well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I could never think about mourning Thatchers Passing. Thats not an option. I made up my mind during my childhood and listening to my parents. The atmosphere the stories created was not brilliant and I've just got the feeling that I don't like Margaret Thatcher at all. You are Olof Mellberg, and I claim my £5. Ahhh at last, at least someone spotted it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a nice man but on the other hand at least she stood by those who had helped her country and didn't feel the need to apologise for it. Real Politik has never been pretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
